Overall Insight

We can see that the highest CPM is $ 6.27, the lowest CPM data is $ 0.83, and the latest date is the lowest point of the data. This is the overall change trend of CPM in the Facebook advertising industry. The data comes from ADCostly. The following channel analysis will no longer place a polyline statistical chart, and it will be displayed in a table. View.

Publisher Insight

  Max CPM Min CPM Trend
Facebook $5.33  $0.77  Data decline, the latest date is the lowest
point of the data
Instagram $3.97  $1.01  The data was flat before March 3, 2020, and
dropped sharply after the 12th
Audience Network $14.2  $1.06  Data decline, the latest date is the lowest
point of the data
Messenger $1.25  $0.72  Data volatility is flat

Looking at the average CPM of ads from a Publisher's perspective, we can see that no matter which Publisher is under Facebook, there is a very obvious downward trend in CPM. The decline of Facebook and Audience Network is the most obvious, and the data poles are several times different. In fact, the reason is obvious: the impact of the epidemic began in other countries except China in early March, and CPM data began to plummet.

Category Insight

  Max CPM Min CPM Trend
Non-Gaming Apps $4.22  $0.84  Data decline, the latest date is the lowest
point of the data
Gaming Apps $7.23  $19.4  The data drops and rises rapidly, the latest
date is the highest point of the data
eCom $4.07  $1.49  The data is in a downward trend, with

Web $4.92  $0.57  The data rises before March 12.12, the data
drops sharply after 12 days, the
latest date is the lowest point of the data
Page $2.95  $1.13  The data shows a "W" shape, and then declines
and then rises, and then repeats
this pattern.

From the perspective of Category to analyze the CPM situation, we can see that the overall trend is also declining, but the opposite phenomenon has appeared in Gaming Apps. In fact, this is also very easy to understand. Everyone is isolated at home and cannot go out, so the usage of game type apps has increased a lot, the CPM data has also risen linearly. If you have a game company, it may be able to achieve rapid development during this epidemic. Of course, we must always pay attention to the trend of CPM and make further arrangements.

Brazil $1.32  $0.45  The data is in a peak structure as a whole, with low

Judging from the above national data statistics, the gap in CPM data between countries is very large. We should clearly realize that the advertising budgets required by different countries for advertising should also be adjusted accordingly, otherwise the cost problem will not be Avoided. 

Of course, each country's own CPM also appears to be unusually abnormal in the first quarter of 2020. The CPM values ​​vary too much, and there are many influencing factors including the epidemic situation and other things. Only 10 countries and regions are listed here. If you need more national data, you can check it yourself.

For example, "learn more" sometimes brings more clicks than "shop now". When writing CTA copy, we must make sure that we write simple, clean text, and do n’t let users guess what advertisement they clicked or why they should do it.

Pay attention to delivery time

The time of advertising is always a very important content. For example, the effect of advertising at 6 o'clock in the morning will be higher than that sent at 5 o'clock in the evening. 

The advertising costs will also change significantly during major holidays, such as the past Valentine's Day also has a big carnival Christmas. We must control the overall cost of the holiday period, so as to make a good budget.
